Amabhande Ezandla Ahlakaniphile —-Ukugxuma eTrampoline Park

Isifinyezo:

• I-Altitude Trampoline Park ihlola uhlelo olusekelwe ku-IoT oluvela ku-Intelliplay olulandelela indawo kanye nomsebenzi wezingane njengoba zidlala, kokubili ukuphepha kanye nokudlala imidlalo.
• Uhlelo luxhumanisa ukudlala kwedijithali nomzimba ngokulandelela amazinga omsebenzi nokubonisa amagama ezingane ezikhuthele kakhulu ebhodini labaphambili.

Uma izingane zigqoka i-wireless exhunywe ngaphandle kwentamboibhande lesihlakalae-Altitude Trampoline Park's Mason, OH site, bahlanganisa ukugxuma okuvamile, okungokomzimba nokuncintisana kwedijithali okunobuchwepheshe obuphezulu.

Ubuchwepheshe—obusetshenziswa yi-Altitude Park kusukela ngo-Agasti—bulandelela ukunyakaza kwezingane ezidlala lapho, isikhathi sazo epaki, futhi bulinganisa futhi bubonise amazinga azo okusebenza ebhodini labaphambili.

Isixazululo sihlanganisaIzifundi ze-HF RFIDukufaka izingane ngaphakathi nokuzikhomba njengoba zingena futhi ziphuma, kanye nama-beacon e-Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) ukuxhumana namabhande esihlakaleni kude—ukuthwebula indawo, isikhathi sokudlala esithengiwe esisele, kanye nezinga lokudlala elisekelwe ku-accelerometer lengane ngayinye.

Lolu hlelo aluzange lusetshenziswe nje kuphela ukuze luzenzekele ukugcina isikhathi, kodwa futhi lusize izingane zincintisane futhi zithole amaphuzu, okwenza ukuvakasha ngakunye e-Altitude kube okuhehayo kakhulu, kusho uChris Kuehn, isikhulu esiphezulu sokusebenza se-Altitude Trampoline Park. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abazali bathola izaziso zombhalo lapho isikhathi sengane yabo sesizophela, ngenqubo elula yokwandisa isikhathi ngohlelo lokusebenza lwewebhu ocingweni lwabo, futhi bazise abasebenzi nabazali uma ingane izama ukuphuma kulesi sikhungo.

Ipaki Yangaphakathi Idlala Ngomzimba

I-Altitude Trampoline Park iphethwe yi-Indoor Active Brands, inkampani yesikhulumi egxile ekuzijabuliseni kwangaphakathi. Inezindawo ezweni lonke ezinikeza ukugxuma kanye nokunye ukudlala okusebenzayo. Amapaki anakekela izingane ezineminyaka emithathu kuya kweyi-12, anezindawo ezikhangayo ezingaba yishumi nambili ezifaka phakathi ama-trampoline e-basketball, inkundla yezithiyo, ama-zipline, imishini yokudlala ethambile, kanye nokudlala kwezingane ezincane kwabathengi abasebasha.

Ipaki ibilokhu igxile ezindleleni zokwenza isikhathi sokudlala sihehe kakhulu izingane, kuyilapho ithuthukisa lokho obekuyinqubo esetshenziswa ngesandla yokuqinisekisa ukuthi izingane azihlali isikhathi eside ngesikhathi sokudlala ezisithengile.

“Sihlala sifuna ukuthuthukisa ulwazi lwezivakashi ngobuchwepheshe,” kusho uKuehn. Nakuba ipaki igxile kakhulu endaweni engokoqobo kanye nokudlala okusebenzayo “sinomuzwa wokuthi kunendima yokufaka ubuchwepheshe kulowo mdlalo osebenzayo ukuze kuthuthukiswe ulwazi lwezingane kanye nabazali.”

I-Technology Startup Iletha Ulwazi Lwedijithali

Inkampani yezobuchwepheshe i-Intelliplay yethulwe ngo-2019 futhi yaqala ukwakha umkhiqizo we-Intelliband ngo-2023. “Sifuna ukwenza imidlalo ibe ngokoqobo,” kusho uGreg Spittle, umsunguli wenkampani.

Bathuthukise ubuchwepheshe bokusiza ukulandelela isikhathi sokudlala kwengane, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ayishiyi isayithi ngaphandle komzali wayo, kodwa futhi basize izingane zincintisane nabanye kanye namaphuzu azo angaphambilini, ngezindlela ezingenakwenzeka ezweni elingokoqobo ngokugcwele.

I-Altitude Park yayilungele ukuzama ubuchwepheshe. “Sithanda kakhulu ukukhipha abantu esofeni bese beya epaki bese behamba,” kusho uKuehn, “besifuna ukufaka okuhlangenwe nakho kobuchwepheshe kanye nokucwiliswa okuphakamisa ukuzibandakanya nezilaleli zethu esiziqondisayo—izingane.”

Njengoba amabhande esihlakaleni eseyingxenye ebalulekile yokuphathwa kwesikhathi, inkampani yayifuna imibono emisha kanye nezinto ezintsha emakethe ezingathuthukisa leyo nqubo yonke.

Uhlelo Lwephepha Luza Nemingcele

Ekuqaleni lapho abathengi bethengela izingane zabo isikhathi sokudlala, babethola ibhande lesandla elinombala ohambisana nesikhathi okwakudingeka bahambe ngaso.

Ipaki yabe isisebenzisa uhlelo lwe-PA olusize ekukhumbuzeni abahlanganyeli lapho isikhathi sesiphelile. Isibonelo, uhlelo lwe-PA lungamemezela ukuthi bonke labo abanezintambo ezibomvu kumele bashiye indawo noma bathenge ithikithi elisha kanye nebhande lesandla elihambisanayo.

Lokhu kwaphoqa izisebenzi ukuthi ziqaphe izindawo zokudlala ukuze zibheke noma ubani owayesadlala egqoke umbala webhande lesandla owawubonisa ukuthi isikhathi sakhe sesiphelile. Kwakuyisimiso esiyinkimbinkimbi, esivame ukwenza amaphutha futhi sidinga abasebenzi abaningi.

I-Altitude Park Ithatha Indawo Yamabhande Ezandla Ephepha Ngebhande Le-Intelliplay

Uhlelo lwedijithali olusanda kwethulwa luqukethe ibhande lesihlakala elingashajwa kabusha elidluliswa nge-HF RFID kanye ne-BLE, futhi lisebenzisa i-accelerometer eyakhelwe ngaphakathi ukukala umsebenzi wokugxuma wengane egqoke ibhande.

I-Intelliplay inikeza i-API yokuxhumanisa isofthiwe yayo nesofthiwe yokuphatha yepaki, iyinika ikhono lokufinyelela idatha yendawo yokuthengisa mayelana nomuntu kanye nendlela yakhe yokukhokha kanye nesikhathi sokudlala asithengile. Leyo datha ixhunywe ku-ID ehlukile efakwe ku-wristband.

Uma sebegqoke ibhande lesihlakala, izingane zingangena endaweni yokudlala. Isibani se-LED sebhendi sizokhanya siluhlaza uma nje zikhululekile ukudlala lapho.

Uma isikhathi sisondela—njengaphakathi kwemizuzu eyi-10—isibani sebhande lesihlakala sishintsha sibe phuzi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, umuntu omdala onalowo mntwana uzothola umlayezo wombhalo ovela epaki, emtshela ukuthi isikhathi esibekiwe siyeza, futhi emcela ukuba athenge isikhathi esengeziwe uma ingane ifuna ukuhlala isikhathi eside.

Uma bethenga, isongo sithola ulwazi olusha ngesignali ye-BLE bese ukukhanya kubuyela kokuluhlaza. Uma bengathengi isikhathi esengeziwe, ukukhanya kuzoba bomvu, kuxwayise ingane ukuthi ishiye indawo yokudlala.

Ukuhlanganiswa kwegeyimu

Ezinganeni, okunye kokuzijabulisa kuvela ekusetshenzisweni kwegeyimu kwedijithali okuboniswe ebhodini labaphambili. Umhlanganyeli ngamunye uthola amaphuzu ngokubamba iqhaza. Lapho begxuma kakhulu, kulapho bethola khona isikweletu esiningi, kusho uSpittle. Isikweletu singadlulela ngale kokuvakasha okukodwa futhi, ezinganeni ezibuyela kusayithi kamuva.

Ekupheleni konyaka, i-Intelliplay kanye ne-Altitude Park bahlela ukunikeza abahlanganyeli uhlelo lokusebenza ukuze bakwazi ukubona amagama abo kanye nezikolo zabo kuma-smartphone, noma ngabe bengekho epaki. Okuqukethwe kungafaka phakathi ukuqhathaniswa kokuphakama kwabo kokugxuma ne-Statue of Liberty noma i-Mount Everest, bakwazi ukuwina imiklomelo namabheji ngokusekelwe ekufezeni kwabo.

Kubazali, uhlelo luza nezinzuzo zokuphepha njengoba abafundi be-RFID emnyango bebona ukuthi ibhande lesihlakala liyabonakala yini uma liphuma endaweni yokudlala.

“Sinendlela yokuxwayisa eyakhelwe umama nobaba,” kusho uKuehn, hhayi nje ukuxwayisa abazali uma ingane ihamba, kodwa uma ingane ikhohliwe ukususa ibhande layo lapho umndeni ushiya indawo.

Izinzuzo Zokusebenza

Kulabo abasebenza epaki, ukuthengiselana nokuba khona kuba lula ukuze abasebenzi bachithe isikhathi esincane befuna amabhande esihlakaleni. Lolu hlelo luphinde luqhubekisele phambili ukuthengisa njengoba abazali bekuthola kulula ukuthengela izingane zabo isikhathi esengeziwe, ngokusho kwezikhulu zepaki.

Enye inzuzo i-Altitude Park eyibikezelayo ngobuchwepheshe izoba ukuhlolwa kokuthandwa kwendawo ngayinye ekhangayo. Ngokwazi ukuthi izingane zihlangana kuphi, nini, “sizoqonda kangcono ukuthi yiziphi izindawo ezikhangayo ezisetshenziswayo,” futhi ngalolo lwazi, “sakha izindawo ezikhangayo ezifanele ezixhumana ngempela nezingane futhi zithola ukusetshenziswa kwazo… esikhathini esidlule lokho kwakuyindaba yokuzama nokwenza amaphutha,” kusho uKuehn.

Kuze kube manje uKuehn uthe impendulo ayitholile ukuthi izingane ziyawujabulela umdlalo wesistimu. "Ziyawathanda amabhodi abaphambili abathanda ukuwabona amagama azo, kanye nokuba namabhande esihlakaleni akhanyayo."
